Primulas do best in a rich loamy soil and 
prefer a partly shady location, especially 
with some protection from the afternoon sun. 
They are perfectly hardy but should be 
protected during zero weather. 
Primulas, having a wonderfully varied col¬ 
oring and type of growth, rank among the 
foremost plants for the rock garden, and by 
using the different varieties the blooming 
period is prolonged to ten months in this 
locality. The best known and perhaps the 
greatest favorites of them all are P. acaulis, 
or common Primrose, and P. polyantha, 
which are now hybridized into the most glor¬ 
ious color range, running from blue through 
violet, pink, rose, and orange, to various 
shades of yellow, many self-colored. 
The new types include such interesting 
varieties as rosea grandiflora, which sends 
up its lovely bright pink flowers very early 
Plant primroses anyt 
in the spring and before the leaves; florindae 
with its large umbels of citron yellow on 
3-foot stalks with oriental fragrance, and the 
bog loving Juliae with its dark crisp leaves 
and deep rose flowers 2 inches high. This 
gives one little glimpse of the wonderful 
variety of the species, of which there are 
several hundred. 
No flower is more ingratiatingly loveable 
than the humble primrose. If it once gains 
entrance to your heart it will stay there for¬ 
ever and hold its corner against any com¬ 
petitor no matter how dazzling and exotic; 
it is so easy of culture, so grateful and gen¬ 
erous for any attention given it, comes up so 
cheerfully at the call of spring that it be¬ 
comes love at first sight. 
You will find that you never can get 
enough and plan at once for more and more; 
you will want them tucked under your decid¬ 
uous shrubs or used for edging your peren¬ 
nial beds and in your rockery or any little 
spare bit of ground that you have, where 
they will bloom and multiply and be a joy 
forever. 
You will become a collector of them, as 
there are hundreds of varieties and the list 
is steadily growing, as hybridizers are busy 
working on them and collectors are gathering 
them from the four corners of the earth. No 
other flower that we know of has such vast 
possibilities and such a long period of bloom; 
flowers of the acaulis and polyanthus will 
last for a couple of months if grown in partial 
shade and you can refrain from picking them. 
Juliae and its hybrids are exquisitely dainty 
and beautiful and are rapidly and deservedly 
becoming very popular; in fact, all of them 
are most lovable. 
Our plants are all field grown and receive 
no protection except in extremely cold 
weather, and are consequently as hardy as 
possible.
